A Flower Once Was Poem by Nivedita Dubey

Don’t cry if you ever fall in the mudFor every flower once was a budIt would’ve taken time for a tree to reach its peakWoodpecker too at first would have failed to use his beakA swimmer at first would’ve almost drownedA footballer might’ve fainted while taking a roundAnyone can fall while climbing the hill at firstWhat you learn from the fall is to be remembered mustDon’t be in grief if despair hovers over youJust keep faith and your dream will surely come trueRemember that before dawn the darkness is severeAfter going through many halts finally comes the New YearAnd you realize it’s not the endSeeing yourself as a legend
